RE: (TFT) Dinosaurs for TFT

["Marc Gacy" <mgacy@maad.com>]

What I've read was that Dimetrodon was not a dinosaur(or even a contemporary
of the dinosaurs), but a much more primitive creature called a pelycosaur
from the Permian period of the Paleozoic era. Dimetrodon died out with the
Trilobites in the great Permian-Triassic catastrophe.

To put it another way, not that this has any bearing on their play in TFT or
elsewhere of course, but chronologically, a T.Rex would be more likely to
encounter a human (65 million years difference) than a dimetrodon (160
million years difference from extinction of dimetrodon to appearance of
T.Rex).
